Online story: “A man held 10 people hostage inside a California office building before the FBI shot and killed him early Wednesday, bringing the more than 15-hour standoff to an end, police said. * The hostages were found unharmed inside the downtown Bakersfield building that houses a bank and a school district office, the Bakersfield Police Department said in a statement. * Anthony Scott Searles-Harris, 41, was shot and killed around 4:20 a.m., according to Sid Patel, of the FBI's Sacramento field office. Patel said the suspect has a history of violence and is a registered sex offender.” -- Hmmmm ...nice to see  the FBI is teaching marksman accuracy again...

I'm fed up with car sensors! We don't need'em, and while they are sorta built into the cost of our cars, it costs a small fortune to replace them when they malfunction....especially if your warranty has passed or it's not a manufacturers' recall... I'm going to insist the dealer give me a written warranty that he will pay for all sensor replacements after the warranty expires... or I'm not buying a vehicle from him/her now or in the future...

Looks like a Knicks vs Spurs NBA FINALS begins tonight.. In 1976, I attended a Knicks-Spurs game at Madison Square Gardens... It was my first (and, poetically, my last) trip to the NEW MSG.. I arrived in In NYC early, checked into my hotel.. the Statler-Hilton.. and noticed a sign across the street at "the Gardens" ... It read: " Tonight..Knicks vs Spurs". This was the Knicks Bill Bradley's last year,  and the rookie year for George "Iceman" Gervin of the Spurs.. Paid $14.00 for a mid-section seat, and watched two pro teams  "laze" it for 3 quarters before finally playing basketball in the 4th.. Knicks won, but it was a disappointing show of the talent on the court.

Wow! It looks like this November, Californians will have an opportunity to actually vote "FOR" a Republican candidate for Governor and a Republican Mayor of LA.... Wil wonders never cease?

Oh.. did you notice the election results by Districts in California?  Only 15 of 53 voted for the DemoKrat gubernatorial candidates…and all but 2 of those were on the Pacific Coast areas.

Don’t you find it rather comical… or weird… that Courier ECO Latino publisher, Wane Hailes (while wallowing in his PEW)  feels  Columbus GA should support  “former Atlanta Mayor and White House adviser (sic) Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor “ ? What he’s not mentioning is that Bottoms decided NOT to run for re-election for a second term because she screwed up her first term so badly, and that being an advisor for Resident Biden was purely a joke…

Uptown Columbus GA is not concerned about curfews for teens so they will stay home… the concern is that adult customers of Uptown restaurants and night clubs don’t want  to worry about being accosted by large groups of teens… that and finding a parking space…
